    The stitching 10 days post op.
    Jason Y.

    Dr. Tang was recommended to me from a friend who used to work with him 10yrs prior. I sought an expert to remove a lump that appeared over my right temple. Dr. Tang's skill and steady hands allowed him to expertly remove the lipoma without complications. It was immediately sent to pathology for analysis. Thankfully it came back benign. From early consultation to day of operation, Dr. Tang and his staff were calm, cool and collected. He checked in periodically post op to ensure I was healing as scheduled. I was grateful for his sense of humor and calming bedside manner. Marie and his staff made sure I was well taken care of from start to finish. I will happily recommend Dr. Tang and his crew for their bedside manner, expertise and skill.

    Skull Scalped by Garage Door
    Shari C.

    March 2, 2019 I was walking on the treadmill in my garage. I opened the garage door half way to smell the rain. I tied up my 2 year old Pit Bull because she is a runner and left my 14 year old Boxer loose because it's hard for her to even get up anymore. Well someone walked by with their dog and my Boxer decided to charge them. She wouldn't have done anything but startle the owner and that is exactly what she did because I wasn't able to catch her before the garage door slammed me to the ground. I didn't duck low enough and the metal part on the bottom of the garage door sliced my forehead open to the skull. When Dr. Tang arrived to the emergency room his presence brought me peace even under the traumatic circumstances I was in. He looked at my head and simply told me I was going to be okay. He verbally walked me through the whole experience as I physically went through the process. After listening to his advice of not getting the bandage wet or removing it even while I was on vacation in Cancun, I am surprised with my healing progress in just two weeks and super grateful for his magical hands and mind that God has blessed him with. He also has the ability to connect and brought humor to my experience which was greatly appreciated.

    Dr Tang operated on my index finder, which suffered an unexpected interaction with a table saw. The tendon and nerves were severed. Dr Tang operated in the ER and repaired the damage. My finger moves again! Yay! Thank you Dr Tang! Without your careful and precise handling, I would not be able to use the good ole pointer.

    My mom had double eyelid surgery on 12/22/2022 at Lawton W Tang Clinic 125 N. Raymond Ave. Pasadena ca 91103

    My mother had a double eyelid surgery on 12/22/2022 at Lawton W Tang Clinic 125 N. Raymond Ave. Pasadena ca 91103. 26 days after the operation, my mother's eyes appeared obvious large and small eyes, and the two eyes were asymmetrical. And had very deep eye sockets, so we did a second repair in his clinic on 1/18/2023, after the operation, there were two scars on the eyes, scar hyperplasia, nerve problems in the eyes, and then my mother on 2/8 In 2023, the third repair was done, and there was an obvious gap in the closed eyes. We went to Lawton Tang, and he injected a transparent liquid into my mother. This is the previous photo of my mother and Lawton Tang made eyes for my mother. Comparison chart of photos. Now my mother's eyes have been disfigured, and she sheds tears every day, and has mental depression, and takes antidepressant medicine every day. On 2/15, we went to Lawton Tang's clinic to defend our rights. Lawton Tang told us that before our operation, he signed a lot of exemptions and called the police to drive us away. As a patient, we just hope that the doctor can be responsible for us, but the doctor uses legal means to escape. Responsibility makes people very angry! I hope all beauty lovers choose a doctor carefully. The doctor's medical skills are very poor, and when they operated on my mother, they kept chatting, laughing, and were not serious.

    Vascular occlusion

    I am filled with immeasurable blessings to be under the care of Dr Tang! Recently, i experienced a rare one-to-million chance of vascular occlusion during our dermal filler training. Dr. Tang, being our Medical Director, was called and notified. With urgency and passion for his work, he immediately came to my assistance. I'm so amazed at how dedicated he is to be on top of every care he renders to his patients. Amidst his busy schedule, he made it a point to check on me everyday. He is a one-of-a-kind doctor that when you text or call, is always quick to respond, always on time, making sure all your concerns are answered. Very ptient, caring, and comforting. I felt a great relief being under his care throughout the course of my journey to healing. Dr Tang is so precise in his management of care, with a well-equipped knowledge and proven expertise. I'm seeing good results everyday. My recovery went by faster than I could have ever thought. With daily follow ups, plus clinic visits with a caring physician, and a pleasant Assistant, Marie, what else could I ever ask for? I have nothing but praises, and admirations of how good a doctor you are! I'm so humbled by how you immensely touched my life! I'm forever grateful to you! Above all, I thank God for this blessing to know you! God bless your beautiful soul, Dr Tang!

    Dr. Tang is a 5 star surgeon. I was an A cup all my life and hesitant to do breast augmentation but once I met Dr. Tang, I was sold! It's been six months since my surgery and I have never been happier. I still keep in touch with the clinic as I go back for follow ups. I have referred a few of my friends to Dr Tang already and everyone is so happy. If you have any questions about the process, please let me know. I will gladly answer them for you. Here is a photo of me taken on last Friday. They look very natural and I always feel Sexy! Thank you so much Dr Tang!

Dr. Lakshman is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. He has a way of making you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him. I've been seeing him for quite some time now, and he consistently does an amazing job. He listens, takes his time with me, and I never feel rushed. One of my favorite parts of every visit is seeing the office staff. They always greet you with a smile. They're genuinely kind, welcoming, and always so upbeat. It's one of the few medical offices where I actually look forward to my appointments because everyone makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I'm so grateful I found this practice. In fact, I already have future appointments on the books, which says everything about the confidence I have in Dr. Lakshman and his team. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice. This team deserves far more than five stars!

    Don't go here! You won't like the results. You're not awake during surgery. He'll half-ass the lipo…read moreso he can then up-sell another surgery you don't need. He didn't remove the back fat I specifically went for. Wasted $6000 for 360 lipo that wasn't done right. He tried up-selling back lift i didn't need. Had to go to another Dr to get it don't right!!!!!

    I had a paid consultation scheduled and arrived on time. After waiting 90 minutes with no update…read morefrom staff I left. The waiting room was full, and other patients had been waiting even longer (over two hours). There was no communication, no timeline, and no attempt to manage expectations. Delays happen, but this was chaotic, and appeared to be systemic overbooking rather than an isolated issue. For a surgical consultation, where attention to detail and patient care should be paramount, this experience was concerning to say the least. I felt I was waiting to be processed, not cared for. I sat there thinking - these are the people that would be responsible for my pre-op care, my surgery, my aftercare, and any complications that may arise during or after my procedure. And they cannot get the most basic function of the operation right. Ultimately, the consultation fee was a small price to avoid a five-figure mistake. Maybe it's ok for filler and Botox. If like me you are making a permanent decision about your body, beware. I won't undergo a scalpel on an assembly line. Hard pass.

    This has been the worst place to have entrusted with the Lipo360 i had been wanting for many years…read more I was consulted by Maribel Amaya at the location in Westwood. I briefly met Dr. Dan Yamini who spent about 15 minutes with me regarding my procedures. He recommended Lipo360 and fat transfer to buttocks and breasts. I was charged a total of $27,180. I received constant requests to pay the total amount as soon as possible so by the time my surgery date arrived, i had provided the full payment. On the day of surgery i was required to provide a urine test. The test came back positive for substances that i had initially attempted to notify the clinic of. I was ignored, not taken serious and instead prescribed xanax to calm my nerves. This was done without ever speaking to a doctor. Due to the results, they decided to cancel my surgery, never providing me with a future rescheduled date or any alternative procedures. Instead they politely escorted me out and promised someone would be in touch with me to return my payment. This never happened. Since July 29 2026 i have attempted to contact Marina's staff and they all have either ignored me, sending me to voicemail directly, or have given me wrong information to mislead me and keep me from pursuing what is rightfully mine. I would not recommend these people as they do not run a business as professionals and instead overcharge and steal from ppl who trusted them. I have attempted to resolve this issue with them and am now in the process of escalating this as they are literal thieves!!

Since then I was very self-conscious about them because they looked awful. I tried creams, tea bags, cold water compresses, etc. and nothing worked so I made a goal to have lower blepharoplasty done before the end of this year. Around August 2025, I was referred to a plastic surgeon by a friend. The doctor was reluctant to perform surgery on me for a couple of different reasons which I won't go into great detail. So without knowing anyone else, I found Dr. Wang and another Asian doctor via the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Since I am Asian, I was specifically looking for Asian doctors who had experience with this surgery on Asian males. I looked at his website, searched for any medical malpractice cases, lawsuits, was he board certified, etc. then scheduled an initial visit. Including Dr. Wang, I purposely visited with three doctor's for this surgery. During the visit with Dr. Wang, I asked about his facilities, the pre-op and post-op steps, aftercare support and follow-ups, shared with him my concerns (stemming from the visit with the first doctor), and a variety of additional questions. In fact, before the actual surgery date, I had two additional visits with him to talk over the initial concerns I had. Incidentally, there was no charge for these visits. Dr. Wang spent plenty of time with me during all three pre-op meetings and saw me pretty quickly meaning, once I stepped into the office for my appointment, I was seen by him in less than fifteen minutes. The surgery went smoothly and I'm very happy with the outcome. I've had four follow-up visits with him with a fifth one scheduled for February 2027. The office staff is terrific and helpful, especially Michelle Y. The facility is very nice, there's plenty of parking, and overall, a positive experience.
